Gen 7 SAN Director Connectivity

Built for Scale. Designed for Reality.

High-density Gen 7 SAN director rack featuring Panduit SN® connectivity with structured cabling and port replication for simplified management and maximum bandwidth.

Product Overview

A New Generation of Gen 7 SAN Director Connectivity

Panduit’s Gen 7 SAN Director Connectivity Solution is purpose-built for Brocade Gen 7 FC64-64 environments, delivering true 1:1 port replication with exact alignment to blade numbering. High-density SN® connectivity, jumbo port-replication cassettes, and a Base-16 harness architecture reduce cabling complexity, cut installation time in half, and simplify moves, adds, and changes—without risking high-value SAN equipment.

Unlike competitive approaches that increase trunks and rear connections, Panduit preserves structure, clarity, and operational control while enabling higher bandwidth and port density in the same footprint.

How the Gen 7 Solves Cable Chaos

True Port Clarity

Exact 1:1 port replication aligned to Brocade FC64-64 numbering eliminates guesswork.

Fewer Physical Connections

Reduces rear connections per blade by up to 87% using port replication architecture.

Simplified Cable Management

Base-16 harness design requires up to 50% fewer trunks than competitor solutions.

Faster Deployment

Cuts deployment time in half with pre-terminated assemblies and structured installs.

Low-Risk MACs

Enables clean moves, adds, and changes without touching high-value SAN equipment.

Protects High-Value Assets

Keeps hands off costly SAN switches while enabling scalable, high-density connectivity.

Double Fiber Density with Gen 7 Port Replication Panel
